I went shopping in NYC again on Saturday. Again, I went to Canal St and then shopped on 5th Avenue for a while. On a mission to discover some unique stores, I stumbled upon the original SoupMan and decided to have lunch - butternut squash soup - mmmgood! And Al wasn't there, so I was not intimidated while ordering, unlike Jerry Seinfeld!

I strolled through the garment district. After shopping a few sample sales, I went into MOOD:

We had a frost on Friday night - It. Is. Cold. Here! Late Saturday afternoon we bundled up with scarves and gloves and went to an autumn bonfire at our friend's house. They have acres and acres of land. All of the teenagers took hayrides through the woods:

They climbed the tree stump, which has "stairs" cut into the wood:

We all cooked our own hotdogs on the open fire:

And of course there were marshmallows....

...for s'mores:

And the bonfire kept us nice and warm:

Sparklers and fireworks entertained us:

And we kept adding wood to the fire....

I am not looking forward to winter at all, but this was a fun way to spend a COLD evening!
